Yes, I'm definitely a fashion pariah...can't help it. Perhaps if engineers shared a building with DAAP we would learn to be snazzier dressers.

A couple weeks ago a plumbing contractor was in my office going over a job. He was leaning over the conference table to point out some particular piping on the plans and I noticed a gaggle of girls out in the hall pointing and tittering. Apparently they were treated to a full lunar exposure of the biggest "plumber's crack" they had ever seen.

Quite innocent, but how stereotypical. I guess if this happened in Flint he could be facing charges for indecent exposure.

How can they tell my boxers from any other shorts? Do shorts have to have pockets in order to not be considered underwear?

Beyond being ridiculous, this seems unenforceable on any consistent, unambiguous basis [well, other than race, which I think is the actual elephant in the room]. So much of current or recent fashion seems just as "indecent" as this, and yet I can't imagine cops harassing young women because their thongs stick up above their low-rise jeans, or because their bra straps show. I wish a town like Flint would focus on its real problems.
